Is distance counseling effective?

Research indicates that distance counseling can be very effective, especially with career planning. In addition to providing convenience and greater time flexibility, distance counseling tends to be more structured than face-to-face counseling. As a result, the counselor and client may be more focused and specific as they deal with issues and concerns.
